For all of you that downloaded Cris_h's rapidshare...It is true that something is a little wrong with the mds and mdf files.
DON'T PANIC
Try first to mount this image at a virtual drive with Alcohol 120% and then try the "copy wizard" option from Alcohol. Select as source the virtual drive and as target the Physical CD Recorder of your computer.

If there's something wrong with them, how come I burnt them OK and updated my nav system with them?

Relax m8...I used your file as well!!!
All I (and other people) said was that if you unrar your file it creates an .mds and an .mdf file. (so far so good)
These files sould be burned with Alcohol...correct?
If you go to "Image Burning Wizard" in Alcohol and point it to your v28.mds and click "next" you get an error msg "Unrecognised file format for recording"
I just pointed the solution to all these people who downloaded your file, so that they don't have to download it again from somewhere else.
I did it...flashed my M3 and is working great.
BTW thanks for the file

That's odd because that's the exact process I used with no error. I'm using Alcohol 120 Version 1.9.5 build 4212.

I downloaded the file and burned with Alcohol 120. I did everything you said and when i loaded on the nav after a minute it went blank. Now nothing comes on I hear the radio but nothing on the screen.

I updated my nav to v28, and the change I see:

I get the Traffic information option (TMC) and you have some choice like weather, close road, etc..


Kool...

Sounds like a bad disk. Try again with a lower version disk that you know works. Once you have it up and running again, you can try burning a new V28 disk. Try a different brand media or slower speed recorder.
